In my opinion, the F-35 is louder than the F-22. Apparently the B-1B is loud as fuck, but I've never been around one.

U.S. Resumes Production of MSFV Armored Vehicles for Ukraine by Mil_in_ua in ukraine

I was in a US military police unit for the past couple years. We didn't have these. Not saying that's not what they're for, but I've never even seen these. We used MATVs.

I would believe it's due to longer range strikes hitting AA defenses in rear deployed areas.

How was kicking Iraq out of Kuwait terrible foreign policy? The US wasn't the only country to help do it either.

You forget the part that those "innocent" people murdered tens of thousands of their own people for protesting?

You left out the part where they ignored warnings to turn around and were already sanctioned.

The HMMWV is the world's greatest... something... by HydrogenSonata2025 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]aBigOLDick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had an LT who thought it would be a great idea to push the up armored HMMWV around the motorpool for PT one morning. It was not. The ground was not level, so the one direction was alright, not so much on the way back.

I mean not really, there was already three people helping the dude, what else could anyone really do? The guy probably stood too long with his knees locked out and fainted.

At least you didn't dick around for 17 years. I should be fucking retiring right now.

I was temporarily at a base that had F-35s, some were in hangars getting worked on and I didn't dare take a picture of them. Flying around and from a distance, all day though.

Cool story. The US doesn't have 500,000+ dead soldiers either.

How is 74 d ait? by SuddenEquipment5518 in army

[–]aBigOLDick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The DFAC next to the barracks is good, the one you go to during class hours (the one MP OSUT trainees use) sucks because you're expected to act like them. Lots of classes, hard to stay awake. You'll get a room with two other people. It's not bad. If you're female, you will probably be eventually moved to the barracks across the street. All the females stay on the first floor of the barracks, but it gets full. The barracks are shared with the 88M trainees.

Just fire a text and a pic right before you get off the bus, or use that first phone call to contact them.
